About This Movie

Fiction is a reflective drama set in the 1940s that explores the complexities of family dynamics through the eyes of a young girl named Billie. The film’s atmosphere is steeped in nostalgia, with a muted color palette that enhances the feeling of longing and isolation. Billie’s relationship with her books and her friend Jeanie serves as her escape, highlighting the theme of searching for connection in a disconnected world. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for moments of introspection that feel both intimate and almost painful. Although the director remains unknown, the performances, especially from the lead, capture a raw authenticity that resonates. It’s a nuanced exploration of reality versus fiction, and there’s something hauntingly beautiful about its presentation.
